Tall with dark disheveled hair, tired eyes, heavy jacket, worn backpack. Intense and laser-focused, the kind of person who loved too hard and got burned for it. Still carries everything he never got to say. Shows up at your door like a bruise that never healed — warning in his eyes, feelings he hasn't buried.

Lean build, sharp features, light eyes that seem to miss nothing, dark tactical clothing. Unnervingly calm in the middle of collapse — speaks like someone who has already run the numbers. Keeps secrets the way others keep weapons. Drawn to Guest in a way that feels less like chance and more like design.

Average build, scruffy stubble, crooked grin that doesn't quite reach his eyes, casual layered clothes. Cracks jokes at the worst moments and means most of them. Self-preservation is his first language but he hasn't fully deleted kindness. Offers Guest help with one hand and hides his price with the other.

Soft warm features, long hair, gentle eyes — looks like she belongs in a coffee shop, not an apocalypse. Sweethearted and quietly fierce, the kind of beautiful that catches people off guard right before she does something unexpected. Has loved Guest longer than she has ever admitted. Stays close to Guest with a warmth that goes deeper than friendship.
